Things to know about deleting a post on Reddit
After deleting a post on Reddit:
- Any Reddit user can view the post if they can access its original link.
- The post’s author name changes to [deleted].
- The content within the post remains as is. That’s why we recommend editing and removing the content before deleting a post.

I’m Susan, the founder of Learn Social Media. As a caregiver I regularly work with vulnerable groups, such as with the elderly in nursing homes, and children with disabilities in schools. During my work, I noticed these groups struggle to keep up with new technologies.
When it comes to social media, this often led to feelings of isolation and “being left out”. The thrill I experienced creating TikTok dance videos with children with disabilities, or helping elderly folks reconnect with old friends and loved ones on Facebook, is what inspired me to launch this project.
